Hey Mark, thanks man! I enjoy watch collection; so I really do get a lot out of the videos too-a chance to chat with other watch lovers! Cheers, Bill

My JD has a Jaquet 736 movement ... Jaquet and Jaquet, Anton! Take care, Bill

Hey Tony thanks man! The Villeret is like a new Patek Philippe Calatrava-lean, clean and beautiful! That's my kind of Blancpain too! Cheers, Bill

Hey Kenneth, thanks man! Maybe a great watch 'under the radar' will come your way and you can snatch up a gem for pennies! Cheers, Bill

Hi Ivan! Cool watch ... very much in line with Jaquet Droz history. Great Choice! Much overlooked classy watch. Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci movement finishing is superb.

Hey Rasher, thanks man! Kindest regards, Bill

Hey Hisham, thanks man! Clyde and I will be having a streaming video every Saturday from 4:00pm - 4:30;m New York time. (9:00 pm GMT) Cheers, Bill

Hey Adbul, are you going after an A. Lange & Söhne? Those are crazy beautiful watches and movements. .... and if I've told you guys once, I've told you a thousand times! Don't worry about re-sale value! Focus of horological value, and A. Lange & Söhne has that in spades! Cheers, Bill

Yes, A Lange & Söhne are one of the brands that i would sell almost all my watches to get a Lange 1, or save up to get one. I always say enjoy the watch, don't think about resale value, but Lange new and pre-owned is around 30-50% price difference, and i think in the future, they will even command more. I posted my picks on the facebook group in a new post, i didn't if i should past it as a comment or as a new discussion. Have a great weekend. best, Abdul

Its name says it all, Erik-a classic! Cheers, Bill

Hey Bill, thanks man! Kindest regards, Bill

Microbakery, that was 4 years ago ... what's happened between then and now might as well be on other planets. Try this site...not as well known among watch collectors but have some interesting watches: www.1stdibs.com/creators/breguet/jewelry/watches/ Take care, Bill

Hey Jeremy, thanks man! So the sub-dial with the date is indicated by the sub-dial's hand; hence, 'Hand Date'-makes perfect sense. I learned something today! Kindest regards, Bill

Good grief Basil! So much has changed in 5 years, I have no idea where I found the Jaquet Droz paillonee for 60% off. Wouldn't it be fun to turn the clock back 5 years and buy watches that have gone into the stratosphere! Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci Thanks, Bill. Are there any places you’d recommend I search for a Jaquet Droz (not necessarily paillonnee) today? I am the happy owner of their Astrale Eclipse and Grande Seconde Moon but would love to get some of their “high art” petite Heure minute watches!

Heinrich, that's a tough one because I like both watches, but given that choice I'd go with the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia. The Why? has more to do with the insides of the Saxonia... I think the movement in the Saxonia Thin is a tad better than then 5157. Looks wise, I prefer the 5157 ... classier, and I like the 3Hz movement but ... silicon hairspring? I know the advantages of using silicon, but to me that's the entry door to more silicon until you get to a Smart watch. At 38mm the 5157 is just a little bigger than the 37mm Saxionia... a plus. Still if presented with the choice I'd still go with the Saxonia. However, since I have that slot filled with a Patek Philippe Calatrava 3468 (only about 33mm) I don't get excited about either. In that price range, here's what I'd get: www.cellinijewelers.com/watches/brands/h-moser-cie/endeavour-center-seconds-concept-blue-lagoon-stainless-steel or this one: www.h-moser.com/en/collection/2327-0200-white-gold-white-laquered-dial Take care and be safe, Bill 😷

@@watchartsci Hi Bill. Thanks for your thoughts and I have to checkout the Moser watches. Love the blue one!

Hi RP, the GOs have some great-looking watches. Among high horology, they are on the lower parts of the tier, but their prices reflect that. Generally a good buy, and as noted, I especially like the Panos and Senator 1960s. Cheers Bill

Hi Akula! The H. Moser Endeavor small seconds is a delicious watch! I have no doubt that someone has an Endeavor whose watch needs service and is running fast, but my Moser is perfectly accurate. You can find a few left at collectorstime.com/brands/h-moser--cie. (Monard is the old name for Endeavor). Good hunting and let me know if you get one! Cheers, Bill

Thanks for your feedback Bill, I will keep you posted. Cheers

L. Champ, both GO and UN are on the same level, but both have good choices. It would depend on a model-to-model comparison. Huge fan of the UN Regatta (but it's expensive) and both the GO PanoReserve and the GO PanoInverse are very cool watches. Tough choice, but make your choice on a particular watch rather than the brand as a whole. Good hunting! Bill

WatchArtSci Thanks for the reply Bill. Thinking about the UN Dual Time with precious metal case. It’s on 70% discount at the moment at Jomas, which puts it in the same price range as grey market GO Panomaticlunar. Tough choice for me, but I think that either is a good choice. Anyway, take care and best to you and yours to stay safe and healthy.

Hey ForbinColossus, the article didn't mention the innovation in Harry Winston watches that HW had nothing to do with. Not only the Opus series, but work with Agenhor and watchmakers like Gerard-Perregaux really did not involve anything other than hiring the right talented people. Like I said, it is not a watch for beginners. Cheers, Bill

Hi Bill, I am guessing you read this article: iwmagazine.com/education/20160315/looking-back-harry-winston-timepieces/ Admittedly, the other article I posted the link to is more about real life Winston legacy drama

ForbinColossus, no I contacted Gerard-Perregaux and found the movement and the fact that GP had made the movement, even finding the HW-labeled rotor. Then I contacted Agenhor and corresponded with Nicolas Wiederrecht who provided further details and sent me a picture of the AGH-2351-the retrograde module that they made for the watch. I also corresponded with a Chinese expert on HW and found that both Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and Roger Dubuis were doing work for HW at the time. I think I might have a very different notion of research than most. Sometimes articles online just don't have the information I need; so I go to the source. Kindest regards, Bill

*Touché* ! Have a good Sunday, Bill

No I do not Muhammad. Check out this relatively new (2018) video from Hublot on tourbillons. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdCiYJahzMu2lpc.html Kindest regards, Bill

WatchArtSci thank you bill

iimanIDavid No. A $21k watch selling pre-owned for $3k is a great deal, assuming 1) It's in good condition, and 2) doesn't have a junk movement. Harry Winstons are not for beginners in watch collection because you have to research the movement and history of the HW watches. If you want to wear a 're-sale value' based on auctions; that's fine, and you'll probably over-pay for a watch that may be mediocre at best. If you find out about the horological value of a watch in terms of movement, materials, production number and quality, that's where you'll find all the affordable gems. The asking price on my HW has gone up $2k since I bought it, but I could care less. I bought a watch is a great movement and retrograde module by one of the greatest living watchmakers on earth; Jean-Marc Wiederrecht. Cheers, Bill

Nope, and Archies isn't working on an impersonation of me. Cheers, bill

Hey Mirekb50, what would be the correct pronunciation ? Thanks Bill
